Everything I Thought I Knew About Mental Health Was Wrong

What if treating misery as a medical problem is making us miserable? What if our intense distress is not a symptom of illness, but a desperate expression of our need for love and connection? 

Join trailblazing screenwriter and author Rose Cartwright as she explores a new path to understanding and re-evaluating our approaches to mental health in her revolutionary book, The Maps We Carry.  

Rose reveals how the failure of the mental health system to cure her OCD led her to radical action. While she explored her trauma through a series of mind-bending psychedelic trips, she began to interrogate our dominant medical paradigm. 

Part radical manifesto, part revealing memoir, The Maps We Carry is for everyone who has questioned why they are the way they are.
